Blocking FCC from Reclassifying Broadband Internet Service
This bill aims to prohibit the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) from reclassifying broadband internet access as a heavily regulated telecommunications service. If enacted, the law would nullify the FCC's proposed rulemaking, ensuring that internet service providers operate under fewer government regulations. This maintains the current legal status of the internet, potentially affecting future rules regarding network neutrality and pricing.
Key points
The Act voids the FCC's plan to subject Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to strict government regulations typically applied to telephone companies.
Broadband internet access remains classified as an information service, ensuring less federal oversight of how providers manage internet traffic and services.
